Rhinoplasty/Nasal Reconstruction:

Every year over half a million people who are interested in improving the appearance of their nose seek consultation with facial plastic surgeons. Some people are unhappy with the noses they were born with, and some with the way aging has changed the appearance of their nose. For others, an injury may have distorted or changed the appearance of their nose, and the primary goal of surgery is to improve breathing.

But one thing is clear: Nothing has a greater impact on how a patient looks than the size and shape of their nose. Because the nose is the most defining characteristic of the face, a slight alteration can greatly improve one’s appearance. The ideal goal in rhinoplasty is to improve the nose esthetically making it harmonize better with other facial features so that it has a more natural normal appearance. This way the nose will blend better with the face rather than be the dominant or obvious feature. A computerized imager is used during the consultation to assist in the process to determine if the patients expectations are realistic.

To determine if a patient is a good candidate for rhinoplasty, Dr. Rodgers would recommend a consultation utilizing the computerized imager in a complete facial analysis. Successful facial plastic surgery is the result of a good rapport between the patient and the surgeon. Trust, based on realistic expectations and exacting medical expertise, develops in the consulting stages before surgery. Dr. Rodgers can answer questions related to your specific needs.
